Celebrating America's WTE Efforts with a New Magazine

Americans are extremely proud of our accomplishments and
contributions to the international community since becoming our own country in
1776. But our contributions to the environmental problem as one of the largest
producers of waste have left a black mark on our record.The vast size of our country has
allowed us to put off dealing with our trash problem for decades, preferring to
watch as Western European countries toil and take the lead in the renewable
energy industry.

As our American brethren prepare to celebrate the 236th
anniversary of our independence from England with fireworks and frankfurters,
we’d like to give you something else to celebrate. Yankee Doodle dandies in the waste-to-energy and biomass
industries will enjoy browsing the pages of the first issue of Renewable Energy From Waste, a magazine
serving fuel and energy producers in America.

While the magazine isn’t exclusively for those that sing the
Star Spangled Banner, it does appear to be targeted towards an American
audience.Highlights from the quarterly-publication’s
first issue include:

A Working Model – an article about Greenwood Energy producing market-friendly fuel
pellets from waste in America’s heartland

Renewable Energy from
Waste certainly isn’t the first American publication focused on renewable
energy but we are excited to find an outlet that celebrates the efforts and
advancements people from the good ol’ U.S.A. are making to solve our own waste
problems.

We love our friends across the pond and have received
valuable insight from the UK about what an incredible opportunity we have to
derive energy from waste. Differences in infrastructure, economy, and
environmental regulations, however, prevent us from implementing the same
strategies and yielding the exact same results. Americans pride themselves on
independence and just as they wanted to be in charge of their own fate in the
late 1700s, we would like to solve our own waste problem today.
